Throughout history, the stage has changed and adapted to the requirements of both the audience and the performers. Today's stage must be adaptable and enable the performance of various programs. The project of a modular, lifting stage was designed for a location on DeFranceschi Pier, at the position of the first meeting of most passengers with the city and in the absence of a square in front of the Capuchin Church. The stage is conceived as a panel composed of nine segments, some of which are raised into podiums, and some are raised into stands. In the period when there is no program on the stage, it is lowered into the plane of the square without disturbing passengers. All services are designed as mobile, and the infrastructure required for lighting, sound, etc. would be installed in the dimensions and needs of the contractor, and dismantled and removed from the site after the performance. Materiality is tied to the local context of the ship and the sea, so sheet metal is used for the walking surface of the stage. The stage is designed and dimensioned to meet several different modes of use: square, theater and concert.
